Ind. Courts - More on: "Activist lawyer works to keep city honest"

Updating this ILB entry from June 29th, quoting from a John Ketzenberger column in the Indianapolis Star about local attorney Paul Ogden, today Ogden has filed a class action complaint on behalf of Clarke Kahoo and Howard Elder against the City, the Metropolitan Development Commission, and the Sports Corp. Access the 7-page complaint here.

The suit requests relief based on:

... the illegal and unauthorized modification of a 1985 redevelopment contract between the City of Indianapolis and the Indiana Sports Corporation which modification resulted in the taxpayers of the City of Indianapolis not receiving the benefit of approximately $6 million dollars upon the sale of the Pan Am Plaza lot from the Indiana Sports Corporation to KRG/CP Pan Am Plza, L.L.C.
